Land clearing is the removal of trees, shrubs, brush and stumps from a piece of ground so it can be built on, fenced, landscaped or simply used again. Lot clearing usually means a whole building plot, while brush removal covers overgrown yards, fence lines and alleys where volunteer trees such as Siberian elm and tree-of-heaven have taken over.
Our crew clears residential and commercial sites in Denver and works around the trees you want to keep. If the project involves demolition or new construction, Denver protects trees in the front and side setbacks, and those cannot be removed without a permit from the Office of the City Forester. Single trees and stumps are covered by our tree removal and stump grinding services.
We walk the site with you, mark which trees and shrubs stay and which go, and check equipment access, slopes, fences and overhead lines.
The plan covers what is removed, how the debris is handled and where stumps are ground. Underground utilities have to be located through Colorado 811 before stumps and roots are ground out, which takes at least three business days.
The crew cuts and removes trees and brush, working around anything marked to stay, then grinds the stumps below ground level.
Brush is chipped, logs and debris are hauled away, and the ground is left clear for the next stage of your project.
Clearing trees, brush and stumps gives builders, fencers and landscapers open, workable ground.
Removing thickets and volunteer trees turns an overgrown corner back into lawn, garden or parking.
Dead trees, fallen wood and dense brush are a falling and fire risk and give pests cover. Clearing them makes the property safer.
Selective clearing keeps equipment away from the trunks and roots of the trees that stay.
We clear lots, yards and fence lines throughout the City and County of Denver, including Cherry Creek and the neighborhoods below. Here is what clearing usually involves in each area.
Overgrown alleys and fence lines fill with volunteer Siberian elm and tree-of-heaven. Brush removal gets the space back. See getting rid of Siberian elm and tree-of-heaven.
Back corners behind garages go to thicket. Selective clearing takes out the volunteers and keeps the trees worth having.
Scrape-and-rebuild projects need lots cleared while the established setback trees stay fenced and protected. See Denver tree protection rules.
Large lots collect fallen wood and self-seeded trees along the boundaries. Clearing keeps the mature canopy and removes the rest.
Infill construction is common, and Denver’s setback tree rules apply once demolition or building starts.
Little clearing is needed in newer yards. The usual job is removing a few unwanted saplings and their stumps.
Land clearing covers cutting and removing trees, shrubs and brush, grinding stumps and hauling away the debris. It does not normally include grading, excavation or demolition of structures, which are separate trades. Tell us what the site will be used for so the clearing matches the next step. The terms are explained in land clearing vs. lot clearing vs. brush removal.
Most trees on private property in Denver can be removed without a permit. There are two main exceptions. Trees in the public right-of-way need a free permit from the Office of the City Forester. During demolition or construction, trees in the front and side setbacks are protected and cannot be removed without a City Forester permit. Full details: Denver tree protection rules for demolition and construction.
Land clearing cost depends on the size of the area, the number and size of the trees, how dense the brush is, how many stumps are ground, slope and equipment access, and how much debris is hauled away. Each site is quoted individually, and quotes are free. For typical figures, see land clearing cost in Denver.
A small overgrown yard or fence line can often be cleared in a day. Larger lots with mature trees take several days, depending on the number of trees, the stumps to grind and how easily equipment can get in. The steps are in how to clear a lot for building in Denver.
Yes. Fence lines and alleys in Denver often fill with fast-growing volunteer trees such as Siberian elm and tree-of-heaven. We cut them out and grind the stumps wherever the grinder can reach, which slows regrowth. See how to get rid of Siberian elm and tree-of-heaven in Denver.
Yes. Selective clearing is the norm on residential lots. We mark the trees to keep during the site walk-through and keep equipment and debris piles away from their trunks and root zones.
Brush is chipped, and logs and debris are hauled away. If you want to keep the wood chips for mulch or the logs for firewood, tell us before work starts.
For building, paving or fencing, yes: stumps should be ground out so they do not rot under the new work. For open ground that will stay as rough yard, cutting stumps low is sometimes enough. Stump grinding is part of most clearing jobs.
Yes, wherever stumps or roots will be ground out. Colorado 811 marks public underground utility lines free of charge and requires at least three business days of notice before digging. Private lines such as sprinkler pipes are not marked, so point those out during the site walk-through.
